LOL Awesome.

He's still not going to be the HC.
Are you sure?

I think Iowa’s storied history and fan base support move the needle more. I also think that detail has been overlooked recently.
Our fan support with huge crowds at Carver were always a big selling point. That’s why it’s concerning that attendance has been declining. I understand we didn’t have great opponents at home, and most meets were on bad days.

It also appears Carl and David are a burned bridge too..
Don’t know what Tom did to jobo to get butt hurt, but St John and Especially Metcalf joined the coaching staff at our huge in state rival. They acted like dicks towards us as much as Tom does in those meets, especially Metcalf. Metcalf and Tom are cut out of the same cloth, so now that they are in state rivals you could predict this happening. It’s only going to intensify now that Metcalf is head coach. Carl and Taylor’s relationship is now icy at best, and is only going to get worse, the more Taylor threatens to overthrow them at NCAA’s.

Spare me the faux outrage. The JOKE was intended directly for the person I replied to and he OBVIOUSLY laughed. For someone who is supposed to smoke a lot of happy greens and play in a band, you seem to be wound tighter than those yoga pants had to be...
Oh, he laughed… Probably just happy to have another person with the type of humor that got him booted for a spell awhile back, maybe?

Yes, well it is a combat sport. Glad you mentioned "the Sport" and not just Iowa. Perhaps the most burned of the bridges is our boy Cael and his boy Taylor
Well, I was actually referring to the number of folks in the sport that experienced burnt bridges with the denominator in question.

And to be honest, I wasn’t expecting a “what-about” deflection from you.

Are you sure DT and Cael have icy relationship? Maybe it’s just like Tom Ryan and Tom Brands.
All 4 are extremely intense individuals who hate losing. They all want what is best for their own program. I don’t think that means you hate the other coach. Gable always respected J Rob even though he left.

DT and Carl no longer have a relationship of any kind. Took DT a bit longer than Carl to realize it

I’m not sure about that. Does he want the job? Who gets made hc of a top? level college wrestling program with no experience what-so-ever?
What was Gables coaching experience? What was Taylors coaching experience. Cael was at ISU and ran off his own head coach before jumping ship but I have no doubts that Spencer would surround himself with absolute studs and hit homeruns in everything he does. He is a super intelligent kid who just happens to be the best in the world at his weight.
